Samsung files motion to see Apple's next iPhone and iPad - Page 3

post #81 of 128

I got a new Samsung phone not long ago - Omnia 7. It's a really nice device. It feels better than iPhone 4 in hand, has a better screen than iPhone 4 and unlike my previous iPhone 3GS, it can actually hold a signal in my house.

I'm not sure if Samsung could learn anything about hardware from Apple because they seem to be on top of it already.

Ask again in a month. I hear Lodgsys are at it again.

While colourful, it'd be good to see you justify your analogy. Who's the host?

Samsung copied Sharp as well. Sharp sued. Samsung countersued. Samsung agreed to settle after legal proceedings started going Sharp's way.

They don't have to be direct copies for Apple to make its case. Of all the ways Samsung could represent the concept of "phone" and they chose white "classic telephone receiver" against a green background. Is Samsung going to argue that is the only way to depict a phone function? Or the notification badge that is a white number in a red circle with a white border in the top right corner of the icon... Is that the only way to depict notification? Surely it is not. If Samsung wanted to be original with their icons, they wouldn't look anything like these. I think Apple has a case for claiming that Samsung is trying to mimic iOS' look and feel.

You let us know how Dieter Rams’ lawsuit against Apple pans out but first tell us how these products compete with other. Most aren’t even in the same genre and none are in the same decade.

Check again, the DRM is still very much there. Also 10 years prior to 2009 they had the same restrictive DRM. What does that tell me as a consumer....don't buy it.

Actually, no it doesn't. Your post is a 100% complete fail. Are you aware of anything?

So your telling me I shouldn't read anything from 3rd party sources when it comes to a product review. Well I'll grant you that, as life was less complicated when I was not being a consumer. Ignorance is bliss so its good not to be aware of anything.

My LG Voyager phone - now at least four years old (I have insurance - this is the third one - I don't need net in my pocket until Apple has 4G, voice and txt suffice, but anyway....) and it has the virtually identical sunflower icon and gears icons as the iPhone - before either the Samsung and iPhones came out. No lawsuits going on there though. But NEITHER company has any exclusivity to brag about on those two at least.....

....and the old Warner Brother's Looney Tunes logo might have a thing or two to say about the music icons.

Yeah, it is odd that Apple thinks they can copyright basic ideas like chat bubble icons and stylized gears and CDs with music notes on them. Those predate the iPhone by a very wide margin.

1) If the sunflower and gear were the focus of Apples lawsuit Id say you just made Samsungs case for them but I think its much more involved than that, which is why LGs simple usage isnt the blatant ripoff that Samsung pulled. Also, according to Wikipedia the LG Voyager hit shelves nearly a year after the original iPhone was introduced to the world.

2) Why wait until an iPhone with 4G? Do you mean LTE Advanced or will HSPA+ suit you just fine?

Correction on release dates noted, thanks. Could've sworn I've been past my Verizon contract for close to two years, tho. Guess it's just one.

And yes I know that no "4G" service out there (or likely to be out there soon if exactly ever) is true "4G" - and I've read preliminary 5G specs are in development - which will likely follow a similar route - meaning we could see "5G phones" before we have "true 4G." (Most 3G probably wasn't all that compliant either? I'm guessing you of anyone here might know.)

So what I mean is simply I hate page loading latencies and since my budget's been tied up with other necessities, I've been waiting for a next gen that won't feel noticeably slower than my notebook of today - which just "pops" up the pages compared to anything I've had before. (I am impressed by how fast the iPad already seems to load - and I follow Apple's latest and greatest constantly, but I buy to keep and am seldom an "early adopter" so my iPad and/or iPhone can wait for the next data transmission speed bump).

If I recall correctly MMS and EDGE data were first defined as 3G tech by 3GPP and ITU, respectively, before being made compatible with 2G service.

Fair enough. If you are in the US Id suggest at least checking it out. You do you have 30 days to test the device and there is restocking fee if you dont like it.

You’re right. We can’t even talk about rumors of unannounced products without getting into heated discussions.

Dude, Apple isn't and never was to my knowledge, complaining about that particular device. (The F 700) It in no way resembles the iPhone.

It's what Samsung did later that clearly demonstrates that they were ripping off Apple's trade dress in order create confusion in the marketplace. Even their packaging magically began to look very Apple-like.

I'm not sure if Samsung could learn anything about hardware from Apple because they seem to be on top of it already.

Samsung got everything to learn beside hardware. They got to learn software which they never did and customer support which they never had.

Have you check all story about bricked Omnia 7 after update?
